If America could only learn to try and make real friends instead of an ever increasing number of enemies, it would have to spend fewer hundreds of billions in its ever more precarious security situation. But who can convince the arrogant about the wisdom of being meek???

typical rhetoric from our military leaders. though i still think were in the lead militarily, i just wish the powers that be would see it's to no avail in the long run. We need to understand war is a waste no matter what. i still feel the leaders should fight one another if they are so bent on power. The masses of the worlds population would have it so no wars exsisted ever!!

Robert Gates typifies America's problem. Arrogant, self-centred and refusing to face up to the reality that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, coupled with the out of control financial institutions, have bought USA to it's knees. The USA no longer has the financial capabilities to be the No.1 world power. Anything he says is just sabre rattling, and the Chinese know this.

Those who live on borrowed money perhaps should learn some manners. They really should not be seen going around the neighbourhood carrying a big stick and breathing heavily.

The Chinese are not scared of the USA. They have waged economic war on the Americans for decades and they have succeeded in stripping jobs and industries from the USA to the point where the Americans hardly make anything worthwhile. In the meantime, the Americans are getting deeper and deeper in debt and the only thing saving them is that the US dollar is the world reserve currency and the Americans have the advantage of being the only nation that can print this currency and don't have to purchase it with tangible assets. But when the Chinese think that the time is right, they will dump their huge holdings of US dollars and treasury bonds on the market, thus destroying the value of the dollar to that of the Argentinian peso. Once the US dollar is dumped as the world reserve currency, the Americans will have to pay for everything, including their oil, in gold which they don't have. That's when the Chinese will act, revealing their true military might. They will invade Taiwan and chase the Americans out of the Eastern Hemisphere and there will not be a lot that the Americans will be able to do about it. The American Empire is dying and soon it will be dead.

Suck it up Mr Gates..the US like every other historical empire will fade. In fact I would question your one sided knowledge of history..the dustbins of history are full of past emires that were all great at one time or another. Depends which side you're on I suppose.

Gates is shaking his big fist at an even bigger fist. What a joke. USA is no longer in charge. They owe Trillions of dollars to China. the USA now has to behave itself or it will get a smack. A great big smack

China likes any other countries has the right to advance her own military. The US is showing double standards on this issue by her complaints against China!

Dustbins filled with nations who've forecast the decline of the USA, Mr Gates? Really? Given that the USA has only been around as an entity for a relatively short period of time those dustbins must still appear very shiny and new to you sir. The big issue here is the compounding speed with which "empires" come and go in human history made ever so clear in my lifetime - I was born in the days when the British had an "empire" on which "the sun never sets" but now, Mr Gates, it's gone the way of so many "empires" which have existed previously. The United States, as it now stands, is buggered: it is in debt up to its back teeth to the Asian nations, especially China; its globe-trotting army is being used by its hierarchy in Washington DC as a publicly-funded mercenary endeavour attempting to adjust the awful fact that the US, which has so much oil-dependent requirements permanently ceases oil production within the next few short years. In 1945 the US (then 48 states) was the globe's darling but since then the leadership of that proud nation has let it down too many times while brashly and cockily thinking that the good times will last forever. Nothing is forever, Mr Gates, nothing.

Its this type of arrogance that gets the world into trouble. Gates is typical of the American redneck gun-toting attitude of aggressive behaviour. No wonder the Chinese are insulted by his provocative sabre-rattling statements about US power. This is global power politics at its worst. Sadly, he and the rest of the US administration are too stupid to realise that they are just making it worse. The more they posture & threaten, the more China will build up its military capability. The Chinese don't trust the Americans, and I can understand why. I don't either anymore.

Dr Gates warned China not to underestimate the US or the continuing power of its military. Reminds me of the times when cornered by bigger we declared desperately 'my father is a policeman'! Didn't work then, wont work against any nation that takes an objective look at the situation the US is in. Past time for them to go home & to clean up their own mess. "They have the potential to put some of our capabilities at risk." Hell, who cares? From whence comes this notion that the US is all powerful? "Whether the reported new weapons are true or not, in the long run China will own first-class weapons that are capable of competing with the US war machine," Of course, but today why build a 'conventional' army? The shortage of fuel, & the ability of a few nations to totally disrupt the supply world wide leaves the US with a heap of scrap iron. No different to those who owned castles full of armour after the crossbow came on the scene. It is in everybodies interest for the US to be brought to its knees. With the US aspiring for third world status & several nations of roughly equal power dotted around with nobody knowing just who would support who, we'd have a much more equitable world.

Wow, the amount of ignorance in these comments is somewhat amusing. There is no such thing as right or wrong in life, only the strong is right. And currently that is the United States. As for China, its intention is simple. No country like to be dominated by another. Weaker nations cannot do anything about it. However China has the power to stand up to the US, and therefore it does. People needs to stop dreaming of "freedom" and realise there is no such thing as black or white.
